Released on December 4, 2018
The Government of Saskatchewan is committing to renew its 10-year agreement with Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service (STARS) beyond 2020 to provide helicopter air medical service in Saskatchewan. The province will also fund one of the three new helicopters needed in Saskatchewan as part of the organization’s plan for fleet renewal.
“We couldn’t be part of the chain of survival in this province without the tremendous support of the Government of Saskatchewan and generous allies like Nutrien,” STARS President and Chief Executive Officer Andrea Robertson said. “We thank them immensely for their renewed commitment to our operations and to our new fleet, which is an investment in our ability to serve the people of this province for decades to come.”
Since beginning Saskatchewan operations in April 2012, STARS has transported more than 4,100 patients and has provided specialized critical care training and hands-on simulation to thousands of health care providers across the province.
The Saskatchewan government provides approximately half of the funding for STARS operations in Saskatchewan, with the other half provided by generous support from the business community, municipalities, service clubs, and individual donors.
Saskatchewan’s emergency medical services include volunteer medical first responders, ground ambulance, the Saskatchewan Air Ambulance fixed-wing airplane and STARS helicopter medevac services. Together, they ensure service to critically ill or injured patients across the province and are particularly important to our citizens living in rural and remote locations.
